Does Aider work with Standard Compute?

Yes. Aider supports a custom OpenAI-compatible base URL, so it works with Standard Compute. Set the base URL to https://api.stdcmpt.com/v1, paste your API key, and set the model to "standardcompute".

What base URL do I use for Aider?

Use https://api.stdcmpt.com/v1 as the OpenAI-compatible base URL in Aider, with your Standard Compute API key and the model "standardcompute".

Do I need to change my code or model names?

No code changes. The model "standardcompute" routes each request to a frontier or an efficient model, so you don't pick or update model names; an exact model ID from the Models page pins one model instead.

What changes in Aider

Billing: Aider requests draw on one monthly compute budget, with plans from $19 a month. When the budget is used, requests stop until renewal or an upgrade, unless you turn on pay as you go.
Models: The model standardcompute picks a frontier or an efficient model for each request. An exact model ID from the Models page pins one model instead.
